Hello my friends ~~ I hope all is well with you and the weatheris treating you better. It has been a nice day here and getting alittle warmer. My second son, Geoff and his wife Joanne arecoming up from Sunbury, near Melbourne, tomorrow night fora night's stay and Geoff will do some garden work for me, as heusually does. It is always nice to see them.

The photos tonight are again from the garden - - - -

My pale pink Waterlily Camelia, covered in flowers.

I gave this Maiden-hair fern to my mother many many years ago, She died in 1977, 30 years ago, and it is still going strong.

Can you tell I like Camelias ?

A nice Geranium, I grew from a cutting from a friend.
